Christmas Stocking Complete

I took pictures of the 3 stockings I had completed but 2 photos looked very blurry when I loaded them on the laptop. I'll get some new ones and show them to you later.

This is a stocking for Santa to fill for hubby if he's good and minds the mommy of the house (me). I think the husband will do alright with Santa because he's worked very hard this year.

The pattern is by Red Heart and it is found here. It is pretty simple to make. I love the yarn I used and the way it almost looks plaid. It is made from some mill ends I found at JoAnn's in Florida earlier this year. 

Guess this is it for now folks. Take care!

Monday's Link to Free Crochet Pattern (03 November 2014)

It's that time of year again. Crafty folks are busy making gifts and decorations for the holidays. For the next few weeks, I'm going to be posting some links to free patterns of little decorative items that you can make as you watch your favorite shows in the evenings. One of today's pattern is for a cute Christmas stocking  that can be used on your Christmas tree or perhaps on a gift.

Another cute decorative item is this pattern for a Santa ornament. This too, can be used as an ornament on your tree or as a special touch on a gift.

Here's a cute stocking that can be used to stuff with a small gift or as a decoration on a larger Christmas package.

This is it for now folks.

Hugs,
Sharon

Made Santa a Hat

This year Santa won't be freezing his ears off when he delivers toys because I made him a new hat. I just need to find the address to the North Pole so I know where to send it. This pattern worked up in one evening as I watched a couple Hallmark movies. I only have one gripe with the pattern though. I don't know why, but I really get peeved when patterns tell me to crochet something to a certain size instead of telling me how many rows/rounds to do. Other than that, I enjoyed this pattern. I used a pompom maker that looks like a tuning fork and my pompom didn't turn out quite so plush as the one in the pattern but I'm still happy with it. I'll stop jabbering now and show you the picture.

Hope everyone is staying warm,
